Today's charts positions have now been confirmed and the beauties remain at No.1 with their catchy single.

The Official Charts Company has revealed that this news means that "the quartet become the first girl group to top the charts for more than a single week in eight years; the last being Sugababes’ About You Now, which spent four weeks at the top in September/October 2007. The last all-female group to reach the summit prior to Little Mix was Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX’s I Love It, logging a single week at Number 1 in July 2013."

Elsewhere on the UK Top 40, Lost Frequencies’ former chart-topper 'Are You With Me' climbs back up a place to No.2, Years & Years’s 'Shine' drops one spot to No.3 this week, and John Newman's new single 'Come And Get It' debuts at No.5.

Swift then took to her own social media page and wrote to Minaj, telling her: "I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot... If I win, please come up with me!! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on."

Singer & producer Labrinth has admitted that he would like his music to ‘stretch barriers.’

Speaking about the forthcoming release of his debut solo album, Electronic Earth, the 22-year-old told the Metro newspaper that he wanted his own material to be as adventurous as his work with the likes of Tinie Tempah:

“I get a kick out of putting a spin on what other artists can do – it’s like making everyone a bespoke suit. For my own album, I wanted to create something that was equally urban, pop and weird.”

The first non-talent show signing to Simon Cowell’s Syco label in six years also predicts that his sound is likely to evolve with each album:

"I think that mix will get more extreme as I go along, it's like slowly peeling this onion and revealing more layers.

"My fans aren't going to get the same record every time and I think that's healthy. I don't want to stay ‘relevant,’ I just want to stretch the barriers a bit."

Labrinth was joined on stage by Ed Sheeran at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire last night where the pair performed Top Five hits ‘Earthquake’ and ‘Let The Sun Shine’ at a pre-Brit Awards fundraising event for the War Child charity.

Singer-songwriter and producer Labrinth has treated fans to a few more exciting details about his forthcoming single, 'Earthquake'.

He explained that the "electronic club tune" is set to debut on Mistajam's 1Xtra radio show tonight, September 14, at 7.30pm BST and will be officially released on October 23.

Labrinth added that despite having dropped off the radar recently, he will be back on top in no time and can't wait to unveil the track:

"If you think I've gone quiet, well, 'Earthquake' is showing everyone that I can smash it. I'm a musical geek. It's like there's this big, wild universe in my head and I love to express it."

He also teased some of the lyrics and revealed that the song features a nod to his label boss, music mogul Simon Cowell, "hey Simon, we be f**king them up, turning them Syco".

UK singer-songwriter and producer Labrinth has revealed that despite being offered countless opportunities for work in the U.S he isn't ready for the big move just yet.

The 'Let The Sun Shine' star feels that it's more important as a member of the modern music industry to let "people know where we are from" before moving on to different territory and is happy to continue building his reputation in Britain first.

He told The Sun newspaper, "I've had millions of offers (from the States) but I've been busy working on my own album. It's amazing to see what the urban scene is doing over here. It's very cool and in at the moment. Tinie and Ed Sheeran are doing their thing. They are both great."

Labrinth, real name Timothy McKenzie, does hope for an eventual change of scenery but understands the importance of crafting himself a reputation and added:

"You don't want to be a small fish in a big pond but the rewards are huge. I've seen Tinie go from UK to America and the numbers (on YouTube and sales) change instantly. I do want to go to America but it's very important people know where we are from."
